It's Been A While Since We've Heard From Cobra

"Okay so the Misfits have one new recruit and the X-Men have three," Cobra Commander sneered. "This is really beginning to become irritating!"

"Sir I have been working on creating new mutant soldiers in addition to enhancing soldiers we already have," Mindbender told him. "And we the new line of Battle Android Troopers is scheduled to be finished by the end of the week."

"But it couldn't hurt to get more mutant recruits," Destro said.

"We'll go right to the source then," Cobra Commander grinned. "What's the name of those mutants who live in Bayville under the sewers?"

"The Morlocks sir?" Mindbender said. "I'm already a step ahead of you. I just sent a squadron of elite sewer troopers to get some"

"I just got some intelligence," Hawk informed Roadblock. "Cobra's sniffing around some of the Bayville Tunnels."

"The Morlocks," Roadblock frowned. "I'll contact Xavier."

"We'll need his help," Hawk said. "Put together a team with him. I've already sent someone to scout out the area."

"Someone? You mean one guy?" Roadblock asked.

"Yup," Hawk told him. "I only sent one man because I didn't want to freak out the Morlocks. He's supposed to only watch the tunnels, not enter them."

"Tunnel Rat?" Roadblock guessed.

"Nope," Hawk grinned. "I sent the one guy who can take out an entire army of Cobras without a sweat."

"You mean?" Roadblock blinked.

"Oh yeah," Hawk grinned.

"This stinks." One viper snarled as the patrol of seventeen scoured the sewers.

"It's a sewer 14," Another snapped. "It's supposed to stink."

"I mean we're Viper Elites," Number 14 said. "We're supposed to fight in battle, not hunt down a group of rejects."

"You heard Mindbender," Another said. "He needs mutants. Stop yapping and keep your eyes open. Those freaks can hear you ya know?"

"Hey! We're the best of the best!" The Viper laughed. "Who can beat us?"

None of them noticed a ninja covered in black from head to toe hiding in the shadows. Silently the ninja known only as Snake Eyes unsheathed his sword and prepared for battle.
